News: no, wait, I had some good news around here somewhere...

By the way, I passed my yearly evaluation at work. I should soon be receiving a 40-cent raise, bringing me up to $7.55 an hour. One of these days maybe I'll post some of the anecdotes of my life among the Blue-Vested People. Collectively, I call such anecdotes 'The Janitor Diaries'. I'm not sure whether I can get a realistic novel out of these

so... you meet many women-trying-to-get-into-bathrooms in the course of your job?

Meeting Women (who need to pee)

[malpanda]

Women with small children and no patience, yes;
Old ladies with bladder control issues, yes;
Women of all ages who want me dead because I can pretty much only make exceptions for categories A and B and they are *not* walking all the way to the other end of the store, thankyouverymuch? yeah, oodles.
The day I manage to gain any advantage from it is three days before I get fired for, (and I quote) "abusing what tiny infinimestimal bit of authority you have".

I am woefully short on functioning email addresses for you.
Mine is still my ljname at yahoo.com; I would welcome, appreciate deeply, and otherwise be gratified by the ability to exchange emails with you.
